David was wonderful person, father, friend and loved by anyone who knew him. A brother in the Blue Lodge, Consistory and the Shrine. A friend who always had my back. He will be missed.
My deepest sympathy to all who David touched.

David was a family friend, neighbor and brother in Blue Lodge. He was the guy that stopped over for coffee, the guy who moved home to take care of his mom, the guy you could call anyone and if he could he would do you the favor. He checked on my family when I was on the road. .. and he was always about how can I help you. The guy who always had your back.
My deepest sympathy to all who David touched ... he was a special person.

My deepest sympathies to the family. I will remember the intense man on the field and casual soul you could depend on off the field. If I saw it once, I saw it a hundred times, Dave stepping in front of someone to protect them. Rest in peace.
